Commissions/Licensing For
Film, Television and Advertising

and other arts

Are you in the creative arts?
Are you involved with new works in:
• film or television
• advertising or web-based projects
• theatre or multi-media events

I specialise in writing songs to
your brief.

I possess the experience and training
- as well as technical and personal skills -
to understand, encapsulate and express
a mood or idea
through song (words & music).

I have the capacity to write and sculpt musical compositions to accurately express sentiment and to enhance visual images and narratives.
I possess a Master’s Degree in Composing Music for Film/TV (Kingston, Distinction) and have been writing music in a number of styles for many years.
I can communicate clearly through both conversational and poetic language (lyrics). I have an undergraduate degree (Yale, Distinction) in Women’s Studies concentrating on the Expressive Arts: I have been writing lyrics for many years; my writing has won awards.
REASONABLE PRICES
QUICK TURNAROUND
SOME MORE ACCOLADES FROM PROFESSIONALS
Engaging and compelling.
Intriguing eclectic feel. Expressive vocals.
A bit of modern meets retro. Echoes of jangly pop, of Kate Bush, of 90s indie rock.
- Taxi
Unique singer/songwriter pop/rock style. Unusual arrangements. The musicianship is solid, tight, inventive and fitting. The idiosyncratic vocal delivery suits the material well. Vocals carry that Victoria Williams torch.
- Taxi
Wonderful vocal arrangements; the layers and rounds coupled with a percussive delivery make for a unique and refreshing listening experience. The up-vibe has a mix of
The Roches meets the soundtrack to
Little Miss Sunshine.

full copyright and ownership of the song.
